### Other Edit Boxes for the General tab

Use the other boxes on the General tab to edit the following options:

Scale factor box

The Scale factor box scales the measured data by whatever factor is entered. For example, if a circle is measured and has a diameter of 1.0 inches and the scale factor is 0.95, then the measured value will be reported as 0.95 inches.

Find nominals tolerance box

This box becomes available when you first select the Find Nominals check box. See "Find Nominals".

Use the Find nominals tolerance box to type the amount of tolerance that PC-DMIS uses when finding the nominals. The default is 10 mm.

When you initially set this value and click OK (and whenever you perform a find nominals operation in learn mode), PC-DMIS checks this value against the active tip's radius. If this value is less than the tip's radius, PC-DMIS will change it to match the diameter of the active tip.

Show deviations tolerance box

Use the Show deviations tolerance box to type the amount of tolerance that PC-DMIS uses when PC-DMIS is showing hit deviations. This option is only available when you first select the Show Hit Deviations check box.

Deviation arrow multiplier box

The Deviation arrow multiplier box is only available when you first select the Show Hit Deviations check box. An arrow appears in the Graphic Display window marking each hit taken, showing the deviation. The larger the value you enter in this box, the greater the size of the arrow.

Thickness box

The Thickness box works with the Thickness for Point Only Mode Points check box. If you select the Thickness for Point Only Mode Points check box, the thickness in this box will be applied to each point created by Point Only Mode.

See "Point Only Mode" and "Thickness for Point Only Mode Points" for additional information.
